  • Privacy as a service by offloading user identification and network protection to a third party
    Patent number: 10862870
    Abstract: A method and apparatus that securely obtains services in response to a request for a service while concealing personally identifiable information (PII) includes a software package having a user identification (ID) and network protection module that runs on a third party system and an anonymizer module that runs on a user system. The user system sends the request for the service via an API that invokes the user ID and network protection module to validate the request. In response to receiving validation, the anonymizer module modifies the request for the service to conceal at least part of the PII and sends the modified request to the service provider. In one embodiment, the third party system may be an application program configured to run on the user system. Thus, no PII or data to identify the unique individual is transmitted to the service provider.
